"Courage".
This picture means a lot to me. Not only because in a lot of things you do you have to have courage but that my dad is a firefighter. They have to have a lot more courage then everyone else because they are choosing to put their lives in danger just to save some one they probably have never met. Willing to die is something that I find very brave and noble. Courage does not mean showing off to your friends, trying to look cool doing something stupid. Being courageous means doing something great and not looking for praise just feeling good knowing you helped someone. There are other lines of duty that you have to put your self in the line of fire. My cousin does it everyday in Iraq as well. He is a soldier for the US army. These are the things I think of when I hear the word courage.
Drew, I have to agree with your stance on courage. I think your dad and all firefighters are courageous. Everyday, loved ones go into burning buildings to save someone they may not even know. Also loved ones never know if the courageous firefighter will make it out of that burning building. But courage does have a lot to do with it. My uncle is in the army, he is going to Korea at the end of the month, and I am extremely scared for him. He's already been on 3 tours to Iraq.
